We're done, we wait!

Well, it is day 13 of round 6. Ken's last round of chemo. He has finished his last week of hiccups. They actually weren't to bad this round. They stopped in 4 days. He did have a strange 3 days at the end of week 1 where he had a metallic taste in his mouth and he smelled the chemo drugs. He hated that. Couldn't get rid of the taste. I told him it was because his cancer was gone and the chemo in him had no where to run. Smells and tastes are so linked to memories. That was hard for him. He has finished his low count week. He can now go back to eating fresh fruit, salad and he can have ice again. Ice machines can have bacteria in them. You and I can handle that, but Ken's immune system couldn't, so it was ice-tea without ice. He is happy to be back to normal. Or getting there at least. He has been working hard in the yard, trying to catch up from a summer of not being able to lift anything. Oh yeah, HE GOT HIS PICK LINE OUT. No more 5 lb weight limit. He has been moving rock in the yard. Poor guy though. He sweats and it runs down into his eyes. He says now he knows what eyebrows are for. I'm getting him a sweat band today.
I'm just happy he can help carry in the groceries again. So we are at the end of week 2. No we are just waiting for the pet scan to see what the results show. We go to Denver on next Thursday, the 13th. Ken's scan will be in the morning, at 8:30. He has to drink this bad tasting stuff that will light up any cancer that remains in his lymphnodes. Hopefully, no lighting up will occur and Ken will be in complete remission. We have to wait till our appointment at 3:50 with Dr. Myint to get the results. Usually at that time of day, Dr. Myint's office is really behind. I hope they don't make us wait to long. We are ready to celebrate.
Ken wants to take something to the staff at the University Hospital cancer center that has helped Ken get thru this. So here is what we are doing. It is corny, but so like Ken and me. We are making baskets to give to the staff that will say 'Thank you for helping Dr. Myint take care of Ken". The baskets will be filled with everything mint, mint oreos, Jr. mints, mint teas, peppermint patties, three musketeers mint. We found all kinds of mint stuff. Then for the doctors, Dr. Myint that STOPPED Ken's cancer and Dr. Wyant that STOPPED Ken's leak, we are taking them a bottle of wine with a wine STOPPER attached. I know. Isn't it just to corny. I hope they aren't reading Ken's blog. I would hate to ruin that cool surprise. LOL.
Please keep praying for Ken. We only have 5 days to wait to see if our prayers have been answered. We are expecting a complete recovery. Thank you and Bless you for supporting us.
